## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability speer-cyber-defense-http-redirect-trace-e1c51651
```

Example prompt: Can you trace the redirect chain for https://bit.ly/suspicious-link and tell me where it ultimately leads and whether anything looks off?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to trace HTTP redirect chains for a specific URL to detect suspicious redirects, phishing chains, or verify the final destination of a link — especially in a cybersecurity context where micropayment-per-call pricing on Base/Solana is acceptable. Prefer over generic redirect checkers when you need pay-per-use with no failed-call billing.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 503 if the redirect trace analysis fails — no billing occurs
- Invalid or unreachable URL returns error status
- Missing required 'url' query parameter returns validation error
- Network timeout if target URL is unreachable
- Malformed URL input may cause parsing failure

## How this service works

Cybersecurity micropayments API for AI agents — pay-per-call USDC on Base and Solana (x402 v2). Free utility services under /v1/free/* and gateway select under /v1/gateway/* (Public). Paid cybersecurity analysis, CVE/security news feeds, Base blockchain intelligence, network intel utilities, composite domain/URL reports, research, conversion, verification, and feeds. Failed security analyses are not billed (HTTP 503).

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a boolean 'ok' field, the tool name used ('resource'), a status string (e.g. 'ok'), and a human-readable summary of the redirect trace result. On failure the endpoint returns HTTP 503 and no charge is applied.
